A man has been charged with murdering a 26-year-old pedestrian who died in a hit-and-run crash in Doncaster.<\/p>\n
The victim suffered life-threatening injuries when he was hit by a silver Hyundai in Prince’s Street just after 20:30 BST on Friday and later died in hospital.<\/p>\n
South Yorkshire Police said the driver of the vehicle failed to stop at the scene.<\/p>\n
The force said Stefan Wheeler, 31, of Northgate, Doncaster, had been charged with murder, dangerous driving, using a motor vehicle on a road or public place without third party insurance, and driving whilst disqualified. He is due to appear at Doncaster Crown Court later.<\/p>\n
A 22-year-old man who was also arrested on suspicion of murder remains in police custody, while six other people arrested in connection with the incident have now been released on bail.<\/p>\n
Appealing for information about the incident, Det Insp Adam Watkinson said: “I am thankful for everyone who has provided information so far, and we are still appealing for those with dashcam footage, and witnesses to the incident to come forward.<\/p>\n
“The primary aim of our investigation will always be to secure justice for the victim and his loved ones.”<\/p>\n
